"Hello there..." - Zeltor answers to the girl, completely beffudled by the torrent of conversation.
Suny grins and smiles @ Zeltor in reply. (^_^)
Sunny begins to skip about the room/cavern...generally looking for 'Her' chest of goodies Once she knows where they are, Sunny absently begins to talk to the prisoners. Her questions showing her lack of knowledge about Humans and its society in general.
Suny will do her best to help those bleeding.
Suny begins trying to find material to turn into bandages etc...
Skipping over to Ruul, Manny, Sorval and Zeltor.
"Some of 'em is still leakin'..." She points out, "T'is messy..." And she makes a 'squicky' face.
Sunny finds another healer's kit, but it's obvious that everyone except for the unconscious female has already died.
"If you'll excuse me, the pup and I don't intend to make more trouble for you all, but we will force our way out of here if we have to. We don't expect mercy, but you are all rather tired." Hersh points out.

:(
Sunny hands the healing stuff over to the group, though she does continue to look at the passed folks sadly.
"If you'll excuse me, the pup and I don't intend to make more trouble for you all, but we will force our way out of here if we have to. We don't expect mercy, but you are all rather tired." Hersh points out.
At Hersh's comments Sunny perks up, spins and bounces over to where she's lead the fellow.
"I dun't be thinkin' they's gon'a trounce ye none." She does wave a finger in Hersh and Pup's direction, "But ye'd be silly ta' be pickin' a fight now, when ye dun't have te, ya ken?" She asks brightly, then looks at the other bandits.
"Tha' way I be seein' it...." And she pauses for effect, hand on brown hip, "...Is that some folks were taken' right advantage of by false promises an' offers whut they din't right fully un'erstand by them's what, it so obliviously do turns out, was people who actually meant them wrong..." She lets her idea sink in,
"SO! People's thinkin' they should be makin' amends fer them-selfs being so wrongly put t'a bad use might be thinkin' that a change of sides be in'a offin', hey?" (^_~)
Manny gets himself somewhere concealed in case he has to do backstabbing.
"But that leads us back to the initial problem. Your buddies here will kill us or take us somewhere where we will be hanged. I'm not stupid."
One of the injured men whimpers. "What's your alternative?"
Sunny looks over her bare, brown shoulder at 'Her buddies' and blinks...
"Uhm...." She looks back at Hersh . "Hold that thought, okeys?" (^_^) And she skips over to Sorval, Ruul and Zeltor
Then giggles, "We is already 'Buddies'! In't that grand!"
Sorval sighs- exasperated by the argument. As long as they don't raid anymore... I'm okay with letting them go... just tell us what you know about the ones that remain free.
"If you're talking about the Lady and the Sculptor, that should be know hardship. They both abuse magic like it's no one's business whilst being none-too-talkative. The Lady is a wizard, and has been known to whisper prayers to dark powers of some sort. Corquis is a recluse and a "craftsman". He's a butcher, but also has been able to supplement his income as a legitimate alchemist from time to time."
Hersh finishes, crossing his arms.
"The Lady has some sort of... um... sponsor. She gets messages regularly via crows, and she has her own." Volunteers another man.
"Wonder where the biggun' is." Pup giggles, staring owlishly at the exit.
"M' talking about the sentry bird, of course."
Manny just hangs in the shadows, picking through the supplies in the cave, looking for interesting stuff.
She has a sentry...that's a bird? Have you seen her... speak to it?
Sorval shifts uncomfortably...Why did we not notice it?
Omm...
"It's not her sentry bird. It belongs.. or perhaps belonged to Kromus. He was on guard duty, and he might have let her out for her nightly hunt." Hersh says, stroking his beard.
"She's a large falcon. However, the boss lady's bird is a raven."
"And a dick." someone else mutters. "-but he's usually away delivering her messages."
Sunny looks around for a 'Bird perch'...
"Whut sort'a bird were it agin?" Suny more wanders around the cave seeming aimlessly.
Raven I think
"Do you think it will return here? It will probably locate his master no? And she has left" - Zeltor pipes in.
"I'm more worried about the large bird. Even though it has to comically squeeze through the front entrance." Hersh relents. "Again, I must stress that we're not out of this until we take out Corquis."
Manny backs up Ruul
Sunny bounces up for what ever had just caught her attention and skips after the big...um...cow guy...
(^_^)
Sorval gathers up the Magical gear and slips along...
Did anyone pick up that longsword?
Nope, too big for me anyway.
The horse neighs at Sunny, but it's perfectly obvious that it won't go down towards Corquis' lab without a fight. Hersh, on the other hand, enters behind her, motioning a grumbling Pup.
The passage down is quite steep, and the party is reduced to entering one at a time. Ruul and Manny, therefore, are the first to notice the enormous chamber, lit with beakers and alembics full of phosphorescent chemicals and blue, magical lights. There are also jars of human and animal parts stacked up in the back corner, including a floating fetus of some sort.
There are two corpses that Sunny would recognize hanging to the left, butchered like pigs. A sizeable operating table sits in the center of the room, smeared with blood and whatever that god-awful goop was that filled the monster.
Tubes are hung in coils, syringes litter the floor, and life-sized skeletons sit against the wall like models.
Cabinets have been hastily constructed out of scrap-wood and piled crates.
Lastly, there are the hands. The hands seem to be chained to the base of the operating table, and all six of them crawl around on the floor like spiders until they reach the end of their tethers and are snapped back, forced to clamber in another direction.
There is a fallen figure on the other side of the table, but it's hard to make out more from this angle.
Manny notices the body about the same time Rull doesn. Yea this one needs killing I say. How about we just plink att he hands and avoid us a strangling? Manny gets out his sling.
Manny backs up some and starts picking off the hands, the ones closest to the body first.
Sunny will first talk to the people were possibly leaving behind. Reassure them they'll be okay, that sort of thing. Suggest they don't all r7n away, since it'll be Manny, Ruul and such who'll be vouching for them when we all get back to town. When we come across poor Donaon, Sunny will make sure he's doing okay and comfortable and such. (^_^)
Upon looking at the room, its contents and such Sunny will be all ogog with interest.
"Here, it be like when we find 'Shamblers' walkin' in from tha' ocean." She exclaims. Upon seeing the state of the floor, she is more like.
"Eeeeew! Tha' floor be all squicky!" (>_<)
Sorval spies the two bodies and grimaces with anger...
That's just plain wrong, I just hope they weren't kept alive for it...
He dies; then we track down the witch he was collaborating with.
The bodies hanging in the room belong to your other former mates, as it were. I also assumed you already did that. These men are staggered and in a predator-rich forest.
